SummaryA set of content items will be designed within the project to influence a higher level of professionalism and competences of the staff in the wellness industry for the local residents as well as for tourists. A general aim of the project is to permanently enable a specialized education and training in Slovenia for wellness occupations. The specific aim will be fulfilled with a high quality transfer and implementation of an innovation into Slovenian environment and with the development of new wellness curricula offered to the labour market.

General objective of the project is to raise the staff competitiveness in the wellness industry to directly influence the quality of the offer. Specific objective of the project is to design a set of knowledge to be comparable with the occupational standards and competences within wellness activities around Europe.

DescriptionThe project is run by seven partners from three countries, who will competently and professionally adapt the existing German VET programme for the Slovenian environment. Within the project an international Experts Commetee (EC) will be established to study the results and analyse the needs of particular target groups within wellness activities in Slovenia. They will also study and choose the innovative contents for the transfer and adaptation, and give the guidelines for the Working Bodies (WBs) operational work. The WB 1-4 cover all four basic wellness elements (WB1 physical wellness, WB2 mental wellness, WB3 beauty, WB4 healthy nutrition). EC will state their opinion and the guidelines, and confirm the final results of their work. The transfer of European dimensions at the VET formation will be evaluated by a representative of the European Wellness Institute, national dimensions will be evaluated by the Ministry of education and sport of RS. A long-term cooperation of the partners will be supported by the establishment of the enterprises network for practical training (PT) and the proposal for establishing the Wellness Institute of Slovenia.
